Appreciate it! Being a
pseudo-fan of 3D Adult animation, I'm somewhat surprised at the criticisms tossed
Nini's way. There are a lot of top-notch independent animators in this industry with literally thousands of supporters (making a lot of money from subscriptions); but their output is meager at best. Here we have
Nini, on the other hand, who usually posts one or two videos a month, then gets criticized for the "lack of sex", or "late" postings.
My general feeling is this: while not an amazing artist technically, she creates these small stories of women in personal crises, their own worst enemies at times;
but because of her writing style, manages to hook me (and others) with these small tales. She does this while running a business ... raising her daughter ... living
a "regular life, like most of us ... and yet she creates these stories in her free time. No small feat, that!
A few
more that minor roadblocks have been thrown in her way recently. Her long-time friend and collaborator was deported during the
Covid shutdown; her
"home" for releases (
FanBox &
GumRoad) basically gave her the boot; new restrictions have been placed on her work at
Pixiv and
Patreon (not to mention here!) ... yet she still puts out stories with animation, at least once a month!
Pretty damn good, I'd say!
She has stated numerous time that she's
NOT a porn-animator ... and I agree. I assume that's
why we're here after-all. It may seem like I'm an apologistsfor
Nini
... I like to think of myself as an "
admirer" of her work AND her work-ethic. It would be fun to seat down with her and have a couple of beers, getting into how
her mind works. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if one day she makes an announcement that she'll retire for good. We'll be so the poorer for it.
So it's okay to be disappointed by her work or her output. I've been disappointed at her recent fascination with the
HTML Game format ... not a fan. But, she's only human and has a "life" outside of this, and doesn't create to meet my (or your) expectations. She writes for herself.
Just try to keep in mind these points I've raised. Looking at the vast 3D Porn Animation/Industry output as of late ... we're lucky to have someone like her.
PS. Soapbox but away ....
